I've got a solution. Build inspection stations on the inbound lanes of I55, I40 and Paul Barret parkway. Inspect all vehicles entering Shelby County or Memphis city limits. Charge five dollars for cars ten dollars for trucks. You could have a county run repair garage on site for all vehicles failing inspection. If you have law enforcement on site they could check for drugs and immigration status. Think of all the revenue this would generate. It may cover the cost of renaming the parks.
